About Me

I live in Idaho with a great hubby and two sons. I love the fiber arts and papercrafts. I have started running and recently completed a FULL MARATHON. If you want a glimpse in to my life, this is the place for you. Hope you enjoy your time.

As I was out running this morning in the cold and under grey skies, I kept thinking about how lovely it will be in a few weeks when the bulb flowers start blooming. It is always so cheerful after the gloomy late winter weather. When I arrived home, I was determined to create something that made me thing spring. What could be more spring than tulips?

I created this tag using some masking like Danni shared in the tutorial here and stencils like Lorraine shared in the tutorial here.

I used the tulip stamp and the butterfly from the Tulipa image from the Fall Flora Fairies. I masked the butterfly while I inked the sky. The swirls are created by inking a darker blue on using a stencil from Crafters Workshop. I highlighted the base of the wings with some Smooch. The entire tag was then spritzed with Shimmerz to give it some shine.
